What's the difference between clavicle and supraclavicular?
Clavicle
Definition:
(n.) The collar bone, which is joined at one end to the scapula, or shoulder blade, and at the other to the sternum, or breastbone. In man each clavicle is shaped like the letter /, and is situated just above the first rib on either side of the neck. In birds the two clavicles are united ventrally, forming the merrythought, or wishbone.
Example Sentences:

(11) Condensing osteitis of the clavicle, better defined as aseptic enlarging osteosclerosis of the clavicle, is a rare and benign idiopathic lesion.

(19) Although fractures of the humerus, scapula, and clavicle are common throughout life, most problems encountered between the ages of 15 and 60 are related to the ligaments, tendons, and muscles of the shoulder girdle.

Supraclavicular
Definition:
(a.) Situated above the clavicle.
(a.) Of or pertaining to the supraclavicle.
Example Sentences:
(1) Isoenzyme studies for supraclavicular lymph node tissue from five control subjects showed contrasting isoenzyme patterns as compared with the patients in whom LD-2, LD-3, and LD-4 predominated.

(3) The spinal nerve is essentially damaged at two sites: the supraclavicular fossa (where the nerve is very superficial) and in the antero-lateral triangle of the neck (where the nerve approaches the sterno-cleido-mastoid muscle).
